Good-bye, Mommy A-Z!

It’s about that time. Time to say good-bye. Really, it’s not a big deal since I haven’t been here in forever. It’s just that the domain hosting service is up for renewal and I don’t want to pay for it anymore. Like, that money can be used to buy more coffee or pay for subscriptions […]

Our Wedding in an Instagram Story

On Monday, Jeff and I passed our 8 year milestone of being married and Irma came to crash our wedding anniversary.  Luckily, the hurricane weakened significantly by the time it reached us and we made it with no damage, flooding, or injury. We didn’t even lose power.  Thank God! Needless to say, we didn’t celebrate at all […]

We Slayed the First Day of School

Here we go again! The first day of school, and this time Arielle is in 3rd grade and Zavier is in 1st grade. We woke up early, had breakfast, and even had time to spare to take “first day of school” pictures. The kids were in good spirits and ready to take on the new […]

Hey Blog! Don’t Leave Me!

I’ve been MIA for a year.  I don’t even check my blog because it saddens me that I don’t make time for myself to write.  By the rare chance that I do decide to peek at my previous posts, I’m throughly entertained by my writing and all the memories I’ve been able to document about […]

August Bookish

I’ve always been an avid reader. There’s nothing better than getting lost in a good book. Well, binge watching a really good series is a pretty good time…and eating ice cream in bed is down right blissful. But reading has always been one of my favorite past times. I mostly read chic-lit, the historic novels […]

It’s that time of year again…and I really hope I don’t suck

Ahhh, the beginning of a new school year! This time Arielle is in second grade and Zavier is in kindergarten and they started last Wednesday. Look at these cuties! We were so ready for this. We checked off most of the items off their summer bucket list, went school supply shopping, and stepped up their […]

Summer Bucket List 2016

Summer is short this year for A&Z. Well, technically, we get summer all year round because we live in Florida, but their summer break is relatively short at only 8 weeks. We created a summer bucket list to make sure we cover off all the things we want to do during their vacation: Summer is […]

This Mom’s Life Through Instagram

Have you ever scrolled through someone’s Instagram feed and figured out what that person is basically all about by their photos? Some people post their travel pics, some people post a lot about food, some people post about their party life, or their pets. I took a step back to figure out what my life […]

Unimpressed Toddler

It’s so funny how my babies’ personalities are so different. Arielle is happy and friendly, Zavier is sweet and goofy…and Alyssa is, well, unimpressed. I have all these photos of her where her facial expression says, “meh!” and when people try to coo at her or make her giggle, she just gives them the stink […]

Zavier the Graduate

My sweet little guy graduated from pre-school! It seems like these milestones come and go so quickly. If this happened already, then that means that high school graduation is right around the corner. I’m not even remotely ready for this. A photo posted by Gracielle (@mommya_z) on Jun 4, 2016 at 8:55am PDT
